THE GOD OF GENESIS: God is with us in the Pit

In the midst of our distresses in this life, it is often hard to lift up our eyes to see God at work. Yet God’s record of being with His people through thick and thin is perfect. And what does this mean? God is actively caring for us and He is always working His plan to bring more people to know Him so that they might be saved.

• Genesis 39:1-10, 16-23

• Philippians 2:1-11

• Matthew 21:23-27
